Police arrest 2 suspects, recover slain Bishop’s stolen SUV


The Anambra State Police Command has recovered the stolen Toyota Land Cruiser belonging to slain cleric, Bishop Chinedu James of End-Time Reconciliation Ministries, Asaba, Delta State, and arrested two suspects linked to his murder.

The development followed a coordinated intelligence-led operation by operatives of the Intelligence Response and Rapid Response Unit, IRRT, led by Orede Matthew, after credible intelligence indicated that the stolen vehicle was being moved into Anambra State for sale.

Bishop James was reportedly abducted and shot dead during an attack on May 12, 2026, in Delta State, after which the assailants fled with his Toyota Land Cruiser, prompting a multi-state investigation by security operatives.

Confirming the development, the Anambra State Police Command said the operation was part of ongoing efforts to strengthen proactive policing and intelligence gathering in line with the directives of the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu.
